No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Hope everyone had a wonderful week-end. We had the whole family over and the kitchen was very busy. My fitbit logged over 8 miles both days and that was just around the house. Love that little gadget.

If you are a fan of anything peanut butter and chocolate, you will love these. They taste just like a giant peanut butter cup. I’ve made these many times now and they have always been a hit. These are quick and easy to prepare and there is no time in the oven. And to top that off only five ingredients are needed. Take it from me, these no bake bars will be a new family favorite.

This recipe is from Nagi of RecipeTin Eats. (Check out her site, it's amazing!)

Butter and line with parchment paper a 8” x 8” baking pan. (Adding the paper will help lift the squares out of the pan when cooled).

To crush graham crackers place in a food processor or place in a sealed plastic bag and use rolling pin. Both ways work great. Combine the butter, crushed graham crackers, sugar and peanut butter together and press evenly into the pan.

Now melt the topping ingredients in microwave in 30 second intervals. Pour over base and spread evenly.

Refrigerate until set, I waited about 4 hours. Cut into squares. I kept these in my fridge as it’s already too warm here to leave out. Enjoy!

Cheri Savory Spoon

Mysavoryspoon was first started in 2010 as a way to journal recipes that I had collected from cookbooks, magazines, family and friends. Most everything was savory, using legumes and whole grains. Along the way I discovered a love for baking. Now a couple times a month you might see some type of sweet pie or treat.

These sound so wonderful, Cheri! I love anything with the chocolate peanut butter combination. It sounds like you had a good Easter. I have a Fitbit, too. Aren't they great? 8 miles, that is really impressive!

Dear Cheri, these treats combine two absolutely wonderful flavors - chocolate and peanut butter and they look utterly delicious!Thank you for sharing a wonderful recipe - hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter holiday!Andrea

Cheri - I am a huge fan of peanut butter and chocolate combined. My mother said I was born with the Reese's peanut butter cup in my mouth! The sound wonderful, and great for a party. Hope you are enjoying this beautiful spring in Arizona!

Hi David, I am; just this morning my husband and I hiked the mountain preserve next to us, you have to get there early or you end up not hiking in that area or parking in an area not really acceptable. Windows are still open!!!
